394: Chapter 394 Heavenly Venerable

Di Qingli's voice suddenly drifted over, and everyone turned to look toward the sound.

She descended, landing beside Qin Wushang and standing with him as she looked at Bai Luo.

“Greetings, Palace Master!”

Everyone immediately bowed their heads in salute.

“Mm.”

“This has nothing to do with you all. Withdraw!”

Di Qingli nodded and swept her gaze over the many experts of the Di Tian Palace, telling them to leave quickly.

“We obey the Palace Master's command.”

The crowd bowed once more and departed swiftly.

Soon.

The vast area instantly fell silent; even the shattered Void Realm had restored itself.

“What you're saying... if I had done something so ridiculous, wouldn't I know it myself?”

“Don't you go wrongly accusing me!”

“If it were really a million times, the skin would peel off!”

Qin Wushang retorted.

This was simply talking nonsense.

He knew better than anyone what he had done.

“Memories.”

“A restarted life... put this way, do you understand?”

Di Qingli said indifferently.

She already knew that Qin Wushang was aware they were all Rebirths who had restarted their lives.

She only needed to give a hint for him to understand.

“No way!”

“Holy crap! Was I... really that evil later on?”

Qin Wushang was somewhat skeptical.

He had indeed restarted his life, but he only possessed a hundred years of memories.

As for what happened after that, he had no idea at all.

Comparing notes with Mu Bingyun and Jiang Chengqiu, he honestly felt it sounded a bit fake.

Even if he cultivated as a devil...

He couldn't possibly be that evil!

“It's true!”

“Wouldn't you say so, Heavenly Venerable?”

Di Qingli sneered.

Bai Luo, who was kneeling before them, looked up again with a surprised expression.

“It seems... my suspicion was correct. You... Di Qingli... have also restarted your life!”

“And this Devil Head sounds like he is the same.”

Bai Luo's words were incredibly cold and filled with killing intent.

After restarting her life, that Devil Head's ravaging of her remained vivid in her mind, like a Heart Demon...

This only strengthened her resolve to kill him.

As long as she killed Qin Wushang, everything in the future would change directly.

“Wait... even if it really was like that, dammit, that's all in the past, isn't it?”

“You've been reborn once already; don't you feel that many things no longer match up?”

“What makes you think I'll screw you over in the future?”

“Though you do look... well, passable, I don't need to go that far. It's not like I haven't tasted women better-looking than you.”

Qin Wushang was immediately displeased upon hearing her words.

He knew from Mu Bingyun and the others that many things had already changed in this life.

This woman still insisted that everything would follow that same trajectory and wanted to kill him to change the future.

Bai Luo: “...”

“Killing you! Everything will change; that is the most secure way!”

“If you had any conscience, you should stab yourself to avoid bringing disaster upon all living beings.”

Bai Luo barked coldly, speaking with an air of righteous indignation.

This made Di Qingli laugh.

“Heh.”

“You certainly sound righteous.”

“But if this person were you, would you stab yourself for the sake of the so-called common people?”

She questioned.

Anyone can speak high-sounding words, but when it's actually time to act and pay the price...

It's not certain that everyone would do so!

“Screw your ancestors!”

“My, Qin Wushang's, life creed has no such thing as selflessness!”

Qin Wushang cursed directly.

To make him commit suicide for the sake of some bullshit common people was absolutely impossible.

“If it were me, I would naturally stab myself.”

Bai Luo stated plainly and stood up.

The killing intent she released did not weaken but instead became even more terrifying.

“What a display of righteousness.”

“Heavenly Venerable... if nothing else, you moved against a Disciple of my Di Tian Palace and used a soul fragment to perform Possession on her. How shall we settle this debt?”

“You used the Celestial Venerable Seal on this Empress's man, bullying the weak with your status. How shall we settle this debt as well?”

Di Qingli questioned in a cold voice, a terrifying pressure radiating from her body.

She wouldn't let this matter slide.

This was an opportunity to challenge the Heavenly Venerable.

“Empress! I did not truly perform Possession; I only pushed her Soul to the side to suppress it without erasing it.”

“As soon as this soul fragment of mine vanishes, she will recover and regain control of her body.”

“As for bullying him... how can you call it bullying? This was a duel agreed upon by both sides!”

“The Celestial Venerable Seal is strong, but it was also a Divine Ability unleashed by a mere soul fragment of mine.”

As she spoke, a figure flew out from within Bai Luo's body.

It was none other than the Heavenly Venerable.

Seeing the true appearance of the Heavenly Venerable, Qin Wushang was surprised.

Truth be told...

This person was actually a match for Di Qingli.

“You certainly have many excuses.”

“But that will not be a reason for you to leave the Di Tian Palace leisurely.”

“Bang!”

As Di Qingli's cold words fell, the soul fragment was forced directly to its knees.

“Empress! Even now, are you really going to continue shielding this Devil Head?”

“Have you gone mad?”

“Since we are all the same, you should know clearly what kind of person he will be in the future!!!”

“Do you think that by winning his heart, you can reform him and stop him from harming all living beings?”

The Heavenly Venerable almost roared these words.

She couldn't understand it.

How could such a figure, the Empress of the grand Di Tian Palace, make such a decision.

“This Empress never said anything about reforming anyone.”

“As for devil or righteous, whether in the life before the restart or in the present, it is not important in this Empress's eyes.”

As Di Qingli spoke, she raised her jade hand and instantly seized the Heavenly Venerable's soul fragment.

An incredibly vast power of the Great Dao descended upon the soul fragment, beginning to trace back to its source.

“You intend to strike at my original body!!!”

“Do you think I am afraid of you!!!”

The Heavenly Venerable's soul fragment shouted in anger.

Her strength was not weak either, so she naturally knew exactly what these actions were meant to do.

Di Qingli ignored her.

Qin Wushang looked over, staring at her as he asked, “I just don't get it. What makes you so certain I'll harm the damn common people in the future!”

“If you're defining me based purely on this so-called restarted life, then your cultivation and your age...”

“Have truly been wasted on a dog!”

At first, he only knew he had returned to a hundred years ago.

At that time...

He simply thought it was because of the System.

But looking at it now, this probably isn't just because of the System; there might be some kind of conspiracy at play.

“Hmph! Another conspiracy theory?”

“Even if I believed it, so what?”

“Killing you is for the best, after all!”

The Heavenly Venerable snorted, still resisting Di Qingli's methods.

In her view...

Whether the future Qin Wushang would truly become the Great Devil Head from her memories...

Was not important.

What mattered was that killing Qin Wushang would one hundred percent guarantee a change in the future.

And it could also pacify her Heart Demon.

This was a move that killed two birds with one stone; no matter how one looked at it, it was a guaranteed win.

The tricky part now was Di Qingli.

“Your original body is not in the Heavenly Venerable Alliance... it is in Taihuang Heaven, yet this Empress cannot find it. Where are you hiding? To actually be able to block this Empress's prying!!!”

Di Qingli's beautiful eyes narrowed as she asked coldly.

She intended to use this soul fragment and the bond between them to trace back to the source and heavily injure the Heavenly Venerable.

But while the bond was indeed there, a certain power was protecting her and even obscuring the location of the other end.

“Hehe... Empress, since I dared to act, I naturally have a foolproof plan!”

“If you truly intend to protect him, you will likely have to face more than just me alone!!!”

The Heavenly Venerable sneered.

She had already found allies, so why would she fear the might of the Di Tian Palace.

“Calamity Ancient Domain!”

“You went to the Calamity Ancient Lord... and made a deal with the Calamity Master...!!!!”

Di Qingli suddenly thought of a possibility.

In all of Taihuang Heaven, only that place could block the sensing of her, the Master of Taihuang Heaven.

“Calamity Ancient Domain... another one of those so-called restricted zones?”

“To kill me, a mere Saint King, you've certainly gone through a lot of trouble!!!”
